Gamont -Dune Board Game illustration
Gamont was the third planet of the Niushe system, as Grumman was the second. During the time of the Faufreluches, it was a planet noted for its hedonistic culture and exotic sexual practices.
People would sing and natives would put strings of beads around visitors' necks, used to pay for things on Gamont. Visitors who were Bene Gesserit always received their beads in plain envelopes. Gamont divided into "little worlds" where one could pretend he were someone in the past or future. Such worlds were Eden, Nantucket, Harem World.
Sardaukars of Salvation played music and handed out pamphlets, passing the tambour and talking to persons leaving the planet. They were forbidden to talk to peeople arriving in.
The world was later conquered by the Honored Matres, prior to their merger with the Bene Gesserit.
Discoveries concerning Gamont from the Rakis Finds were widely publicized in the popular press and Hadi Benotto decided not to put much information in the Dune Encyclopedia. Instead they presented the same picture seen from a different viewpoint, from a diary discovered in the House Corrino records, transferred to Arrakis during the Atreides Imperium.
Gamont calendar had a week of 7 days: Funday, Manday, Twosday, Womanday, Threesday, Tryitday and Satyrday.
